ALTER TYPE

Name

Synopsis

ALTER TYPE name OWNER TO new_owner
ALTER TYPE name SET SCHEMA new_schema

Description

ALTER TYPE changes the definition of
an existing type. The only currently available capabilities are
changing the owner and schema of a type.

You must own the type to use ALTER
TYPE. To change the schema of a type, you must also have
CREATE privilege on the new schema. To
alter the owner, you must also be a direct or indirect member of
the new owning role, and that role must have CREATE privilege on the type's schema. (These
restrictions enforce that altering the owner doesn't do anything
you couldn't do by dropping and recreating the type. However, a
superuser can alter ownership of any type anyway.)
